Yearbook Picture Re-take day
Friday, November 13th, starting around 9 a.m. until finished. If you would like your student’s picture retaken for the yearbook and need a form, please send a message to the office, or have your student stop by the office for a new form.
You will also need to return your original pictures either that day or earlier.
Auction News
If you did not send in your RSVP but would like to attend the auction, please contact Mary Boehne immediately as space is very limited at this point. You will be put on a waitlist temporarily, to be notified ASAP if there is table space remaining.
Thank You to everyone who donated items and baskets for the silent and live auction! You can still send in your donations of beer, liquor, and mixed drink components to the school office (via an adult) for the Cooler of Spirits.
We are in need of more Volunteers to help set up the hall the night before the auction (Friday night, Nov. 13th). We need to be able to plan our thoughts and assign you a specific task, so please let Mary Boehne know if you can help out. We also need a few more volunteers to sell raffle tickets during the auction on Saturday, Nov. 14th. This is a fun and easy job that we do in shifts. It doesn’t take all night, and you can do it with a friend. If you can help, please contact Jessica Runnalls or Kat Marchetti. Thank you!
